Joshua must face a British rival next year. It's ridiculous that the man has to do pad-work after a fight. Get him a sturdy test and there's no need for it. Quigg HAS TO FIGHT either Rigo, Frampton or Cruz next year. It's a blatant p*ss-take now what Hearn is doing with him. There needs to be more even fights. These Matchroom events are just exhibition style events, nothing more.
I recorded last nights fight and it took 18% of my sky box hard drive up! Way too long and now it feels like matchroom boxing is done till the crolla fight COs hes chucked all his main fighters in this PPV
I would rather see him step a level myself. If Johnson is next and gives him some rounds, then I can easily see Joshua on the edge of world class this time next year, rather than at a domestic level, which I think he might already be above.
I hear you, but Chisora would be a fantastic test for Anthony. And besides, AJ vs Tyson (for example) would be a massive fight. But he needs stiff opposition, fast.
I can't wait for Ringside Thursday, the opening camera shot focused on Adam Smith with that creepy grin then he pulls the creepy serious face and utters a line like "We witnessed a fantastic night of Boxing in Liverpool Saturday night....." That is the moment I throw my remote threw my TV.
Do not buy tickets or PPV and Eddie Hearn will get the message. People are forking out good sums for tickets for one sided or boring contests. The only way things will change is hitting them in the pocket.
Heavyweights are strange beasts. Look at Lennox: He did what Joshua did early, blowing people out (not as impressively as Joshua), then looked very ordinary fighting The Businessman and Jaws, but two fights later is comfortably beating a top 10 world ranked unbeaten Heavyweight.
